- #HIM#: RING! RING!! Hello? Quarantine here.
-
- #ME#: G'day, you chaps must have been smoking something the other day, another
- one of those bloody IBM'ers got into c.s.a.g.!
-
- #HIM#: Oh, HELL! Not agian. I am not sure how those little bastards get in we
- keep on the lookout but they are so small and insignificant that you simply
- can't see them until they jump up and say, Look at how groovy my machine is.
-
- #ME#: Yeah, so, what are you gonna do about this one?
-
- #HIM#: The normal. We hold up a sign which says: "Software UPgrades only $375
- and they just come running. We then give them a carfully disguided computer
- (made to look like an IBM) and they sit there and eventually fall over and die
- from dehydration.
-
- #ME#: Why? What is on this computer?
-
- #HIM#: Oh, nothing, it is a picture of an MSDOS screen which say: $/File not
- found, press any key to continue.$/ They press the key and the same screen is
- displayed, one of them lasted three days before finally dying!
-
- #ME#: Isn't that a little cruel? After all, they are said to be humans like
- us, if not quite as intelligent. I remember going to the zoo and feeding
- them peanuts.
-
- #MIN#: No, that's monkeys, these are humans they just went the wrong way. And
- it's not cruel, we are not making them sit there, they just do it. And let's
- face it ... when they are in their natural habitat they simply start killing
- each other over who's bios is the best and who can pay the most for their PD
- disks. Sad really.
-
- #ME#: Truly it is. Why not just shoot them then?
-
- #HIM#: We would but the enslavement and discrimination against IBM'ers has been
- getting us into trouble in the electronic communtiy, they claim that these
- people should be given equal rites <shudder>.
-
- #ME#: And what has happened along these lines then?
-
- #HIM#: We gave them the option to have equal status but they seem more
- interested in killing each other as I said before! Sad. <sigh>
-
- #ME#: Is there anything I can do? Can I help them in anyway?
-
- #HIM#: I don't know, we give them the chance to make the world a better place
- and increase the overall level of the world of computing but all we get is more
- death and destruction. They will learn, I just hope it is not too late.
-
- #ME#: We shall see, I guess. have you found the intruder yet?
-
- #HIM#: Yup, he shoved his head into our doorway and shouted:
-
- owwan> amiga are useless and for mindless idiots.
- owwan>
- owwan> get an ibm loosers
- owwan>
- owwan> amiga are $h!t
-
- He then saw the sign and went over and sat at the keyboard. I will let you
- listen to what happens:
-
- File not found, press any key to continue.
- <CLICK>
- File not found, press any key to continue.

-
- <Sound of a body falling to the ground.>
-
- #ME#: Click. [sound of phone being hung up.]
-
-
- Later all
- Adrian
-
- This was just gonna be a straight flame but it got out of hand. I think it is
- a sign of desperation at the state of the world in general. I will get back on
- topic in my next message, I promise. :-S
